Ron Paul rocks them in debate.

Missed this one but was alerted to it by Angry Exile, who saw it on Trooper Thompson’s blog, where its pointed out that the media seems to have missed it..
Ron performs well under quite aggressive questioning. If he doesn’t get the nomination, perhaps he would be a better Secretary of the Treasury than the current one.

Update: This now seems to play after reloading it.

Trooper also gives links to CNBC cancelling its poll when Ron was well ahead, and how the Guardian avoided mentioning him by name.

All small government people should be outraged at the manipulation of the electoral process by media organizations. The manner in which Governor Gary Johnson has been excluded from the process is bizarre and disgusting. It appears that the ‘mainstream’ press are determined to create a contest between Romney and Obama.

No, you’ve got it wrong, Russell- the average teen is a douchebag, so Romney was just helping them become good people! (Be honest- who hasn’t wanted to torture some of the teens who inflict themselves on public spaces?)

Russell, if you’d read the item you put up, you would see that romney had nothing to do with the camps in question- two sources of funds did! Romney might literally have known nothing about the conditions in the camps- the story doesn’t claim that he does. Wouldn’t his political opponents have brought this to our attention before now, if they could tie him to it?
For these reasons, I assumed you were exaggerating; i.e. you had a sense of humour. Maybe me and Jim and TerjeP are the only ones who have one.

You’re partly right; I misread the article. Romney didn’t make his money from those camps. My mistake.

However, the fact that two of his top fundraisers DID is scary. The article said the Romney campaign was aware of the lawsuits. Plus, we all know that politicians tend to be… erm… “responsive” to the concerns of people in their finance department (including both donors and fundraisers). Basically, its more likely than not that Romney is supportive of these camps, or at least will be averse to any legislation which would damage these camps business (he wouldn’t want to alienate his top fundraisers, would he?).

I still think that if Romney could have been tied to these claims, his opponents would have done it! Therefore, any links must be loose and/or deniable.
and teenagers are still douchebags, though not evil, as it seems to be part of growing up. I’m guessing you don’t get forced into contact with them on long train journeys to and from work.

It seems that there is a report about today that GetUp is financially backed by the CFMEU. Of course, that would be a no brainer. The most radical and dangerous trade unions have been funding the Greens for years. See … Continue reading →
